My Dear Mr Rariden: A few days ago when I was just returning from a brief visit to Wisconsin, where my oldest brother and one of my cousins live, I asked you if you would give space in your good paper that "waves for all” for a rather brief narrative of my observations and impressions while there and you promised me you would—so

Chapter One LOVERS 1 FAREWELL A young man and a young woman rtoed before a display window in Marshall Field’s department etore ihe girl clung tightiy to the youth » arm as they stared silently, almost unseeingly, at the bedroom suite and the sign for "For the Fa.l

"\\ hat do you say, Katherine ? Are we movin’ in?". "Joe Wilson! How many times do you want me to say yeeV” "Every time you say it, it’s like the find time. My heart starts heatin' like I'd run around a block Say, them slippery little rugs are out. Mans liable to break his neck
on ’em.”
“Are you planning on doing a lot of running in the house?" "Yeah. After you." "The rugs are out.” said the girl, giving him a smile that tried to be gay without quite succeeding "And them twin beds, too" "Out like a light.” Joe plunged a hand into the pocket of his old raincoat and brought out some salted peanuts which he popoed into his mouth "Hey. I like peanuts, too," said
Katherine.
"I thought you hated ’em." “I did once, but you love peanuts AH right, so I love peanuts." They grinned at each other as he gave her some of the salted nuts It began to rain and Joe suggested they go into a movie theater until train time, for Katherine Grant had got a job as teacher in a high school in a western city, and the hour of farewell was approaching They tried lo be grown up and nonchalant about their parting, but the
the firm-
expression in their eyes,
ness with which she clung to him and with which he pressed her arm to his side, betrayed the low spirits
they sought to hide.
“Think you're pretty good, don’t you? Sorry, but my car is leaving” He swung himself into a truck which, its tail-board down, was just starting. The dog jumped in after him and crawled into Joe’s lap. "Do I smell like a hamburger?” b ■ asked, grinning a little. “I know. You feel like 1 do. Ixrnely and wet . and small. And you're right." The dog trotted at his heels when ’ he jumped down from the truck, followed him to the rooms which Joe shared with his older brother, Charlie, and the youngest of the three, Tom. Neither was home. Between a photograph of Katherine Grant and two books on automotive mechanics was a pencilled note: "Gone to movies with Charlie. Tom." But they had been elsewhere as Joe became aware a short time later whin he heard stumbling footstep* coming up the stairs, and Tom mumbling drunkenly. "Went to the movies, did ya?" said Joe as they came in. "We just had a couple of drinks after the show. The kid s gotta hava some fun. He can’t take it — that’a
all.”
"Who cant lake it?" said Tom. “J’d’ve been all . . . ail right, but Mr. Donelli—” "Donelli, uh"" said Joe, having helped Tom into the bedroom and closed the door "So you took the kid to Donelli’e?" "We met Donelli and he invited us up for a drink. Tom ought to meet people who can do him gome good." "‘Good’! I’m glad Dad and Mona, can’t see the good you’re doin’ yourself running errands for that raoUeteer." “Can that stuff!" growled Charlie. "Do you think I’m goin’ to ride to heaven on thirty a week from some sweatshop? Be a workin’ stiff all my life, like you? Crazy in love with a sweet girl and can t make enough money to get married on!" "You leave Katherine out of it!"
From the theater they walked te the railroad station, stopping under the shadow of the elevated tracks to cling and kiss in frantic yearn-
ing.
At the station’s check room Joe got Katherine’s suitcase. In turning away from the counter, he caught the pocket of his raincoat on the jagged end of a baggage truck and ripped it half off. At his rueful, impatient exclamation, Katherine
•uld:
"Here, give me the suitcase, I'll git thread and sew it up." "Aw, not here, Katherine!” A train announcers voice called a departing express and Joe, relieved, cried: "Come on!" and grabbed the suitcase. "That's not my train. Joe. Sit down. I'm hard to get rid of " "Uke my right arm only I need you more.’ I'll come for you the minute I get that o!d bank balance up as far as the third floor — and a kitchenette. This waiting is . . awful. Why couldn't you stay with your job here?" “We’ve been over that, darling" replied Katherine ns she sewed busily at the torn podket "There's a better job there And I can be sav-
ing for us, too."
"I
know." They were silent until Katherine had finished sewing on the pocket. "Wait here a minute
I'll be right back."
When he returned the announcer was calling her train. He grabbed the suitcase and hurried her along They halted at the steps of a Ihill-
man car.
"I got you some little mementums. Katherine," he said, pressing two packages into her hands. "Mementoes, darling! Toes! Not lima. I've told you so often." ^ “It's . . . It’s a habit — from when I was a kid." His voice was un »teady and he looked at her, almost
;eady to cry.
"You're still a kid. A lot of you Is, and—’’ she gripped his bands tightly — "I love It, and I iove you, and here. I’ve got you a 'mementum’, too." She gave him a plain gold ling. “Ixiok inside." “’Henry to Katherine"’, he read “It was mother's wedding ring. I was named after her, so I . . Turn it around See? There - 'Katherine

"Then leave me out of it. Stop livin’ my life for me. Me, I got no time to bother with you any more. I'm through!" Angrily, Charlie yanked the door open and went
out.
The next day Joe was in the locker-room at the automobile assembly factory where he worked, dressing a finger he had nicked on a piece of machinery when he heard one of the company's special police telling another that his brother, a ■stenographer at police headquarter.-, had told him that Donelll's was being raided at 11:30 that very morning. Instead of returning to the foreman who had relieved him while having his injury attended to, , Joe hot-footed it over to DonelU'a. He was just in time to warn Charlie and make a getaway with him when the police broke into the racketeer's joint. "Thanks. Joe,” said Charlie, when

"And it was on account of me," ’
said Charlie, repentantly.
"Oh, we ll get a job. This month. Next month . Katherine will havn

The jobs they got eventually did not lust. After Christmas they pooled their resources and bought an option on a run-down old service station garage They might have gone broke at that, but a new racetrack was built not far from their location, and soon their business was booming, ami in the spring Joe was able to write to Katherine: "Our bank account is going up like a July thermometer. Soon, honey,
soon.”
And then by the time summer was over he sent her a special delivery ict.cr, announcing that he was on the way to her — with wedding license, a car and his do#. He left Charlie and Tom to run the garage, and started in his rebuilt roadster, on the long journey to Capital City where Katherine waa a teacher in the high school. Some rights he slept in farmhouses, others he camped out. When he was within 200 miles of Capital City he conceived the idea of driving all night and surprising Katherine by arriving twelve hours earlier than she expected him. So all that night he drove, lost his way a time or two, but when the sun came up he was too happy to feel weary. In an hour or two he would see Katherine. He stepped on the gas.
